Glitter Grunge Christmas Junk Journal

My Glitter Grunge Christmas Journal is complete! I was inspired by Luise Heinzl to create a Fluffy Grunge Halloween Journal, I was inspired to create a Christmas one as well. And while it might not be as grungy as Luise, it's definitely my kind of grungy and vintage with loads of Tim Holtz goodness throughout!

Hello Winter Cards | Scrapbook.com Hello Winter Mini Kit

Scrapbook.com has done it again with another mini kit called Hello Winter. This time it has a magical winter wonderland theme with heartfelt sentiments, adorable critters and patterns perfect for welcoming winter and the start of the new year! I personally love the color palette of the paper pad. And with its combination of solid and pattern papers, it couldn't be more easy to coordinate and create a cozy winter scene!

Hello Winter Cards by Juliana Michaels featuring the Scrapbook.com Hello Winter Mini Kit Bundle

Here's a look at what is included in the Hello Winter Kit. It included the Hello Winter Stamp Set (there is also a coordinating die set for those of you who don't like fussy cutting), the A2 Winter Patterned Paper Pad, and the Winter Wishes Die Set. Today it's available for a special bundle price and if you want more inspiration on how to use it, make sure to check out the Scrapook.com Live Stream!

WINTER WISHES CARD

I used the kit to create both of the winter themed cards I'm sharing here today. On this first card, I used the Winter Paper Pad to die cut the layers of the polar bear from the Winter Wishes Die Set (included with the bundle) and to create the background and card front for my card.

I sanded the edges of each panel for a touch of distress and added some machine stitching around the edge of the plaid paper. I then layered on some die cut snowflakes cut from silver glitter paper using the Snowflakes Decorative Die Set and the small snowflake from the Winter Wishes Die Set. The sentiment is from the Hello Winter Stamp Set and I stamped it using Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Ink onto a piece of white cardstock.


WINTER WISHES CARD

On this second card, I used the same background papers and techniques. I then layered on some die cut snowflakes and festive greenery. The snowflakes are cut from silver glitter paper once again using the Snowflakes Decorative Die Set and the small snowflake from the Winter Wishes Die Set. The greenery was die cut from papers in the Winter Patterned Paper Pad using the Cozy Autumn Foliage Die Set. The sentiment is from the Winter Wishes Die Set and cut from papers in the Winter Paper Pad as well.

On both cards I used Scrapbook.com Artis Glue to adhere the die cuts. To add some dimension to the sentiment on this second card and the polar bear and small snowflakes on the second card, I used Scrapbook.com 1mm Double Sided Foam Adhesive. This is my new favorite foam adhesive! I love that it's more thin. You get a little bit of dimension (which I love) without all of the bulk!


I hope you enjoyed this winter wonderland of inspiration using the Scrapbook.om Hello Winter Mini Kit!

SWEET CHRISTMAS CARD

I've used this bundle to create a coordinating card and gift tag which you can check out below. If you're looking for more inspiration check out the Scrapbook.com Gingerbread Live Stream and the projects that have been shared on the product page for the bundle!

Sweet Christmas Card by Juliana Michaels featuring the Scrapbook.com Gingerbread Bundle -Gingerbread Paper Pad, Sweet Christmas Stamp and Die Set and

As for this card, I started with a piece of kraft paper cut to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Next, I took the Ho Ho Ho paper from the Gingerbread Patterned Paper Pad and embossed it with the Scrapbook.com A2 Wavy with Dotted Accents Coverplate Die. To do this, I placed the die on the backside of the patterned paper that I wanted to use. That way the design is embossed into the paper.

I created the following sandwich for my Sizzix Foldaway die cutting machine:
  • Standard Cutting Platform
  • Silicone Rubber Pad
  • Magic Mat
  • Patterned Paper
  • Die
  • Standard Cutting Pad
The silicone rubber pad prevents the die from cutting the paper and turns the die into an embossing folder! I then very lightly rubbed over the raised embossed design with a Ranger Sanding Disk (basically fine grit sandpaper). This removes the ink and reveals the white core of the paper and makes the embossed design stand out even more!

Next, I die cut nine gingerbread men from kraft cardstock using the Holiday Cookies Die Set. I inked the edges of these with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then die cut the pieces to embellish the gingerbread man from white cardstock and the bow ties from red cardstock and adhered them to the gingerbread base using Artis Glue. I then adhered them to the card front.

Next, I die cut the holly and pine branches from some of the green papers in the Gingerbread Paper Pad using the Cozy Autumn Foliage Die Set. I sanded these as well and I love that by revealing the white core they look like they have snow on them.

For the sentiment I used the Sweet Christmas Stamp Set and stamped it with embossing ink and heat embossed it using Lumberjack Plaid Embossing Glaze. I then die cut it with the coordinating die set, inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and adhered it to the card with double sided foam adhesive.

To finish off the card I adhered some red pearls using Glossy Accents as my adhesive and a small red and white baker's twine bow!

SWEET CHRISTMAS GIFT TAG

With the card completed, I thought it would be fun to create a coordinating gift tag. I used one of the tag dies from the Scrapbook.com Nested Tags Die Set and cut it from the same red paper I used on the card. I also embossed it with the same Wavy with Dotted Accents Coverplate Die and sanded it.
I die cut and assembled another gingerbread man and some more holly and pine branches and adhered them to the card. The sentiment is from the Sweet Christmas Stamp Set and I heat embossed it just like I did on the card. I then finished it off with some red and white baker's twine.
